I had an IVO inflight adjustable prop on my 601. It gave good
performance and the advantage of adjustable was great.
The only problem I had was that the slip ring, which was aluminum, would
corrode between flights (very quickly) and wear the brushes out rapidly.
I finally gave up and bought an Arplast inflight adjustable which has
performed really well.

Carl,
I've never had an IVO in-flight adjustable but did have GSC (made in BC, Canada)
in-flight adjustable on my Titan Tornado 912UL. Instead of electrical adjustment,
the GSC is purely mechanical with a vernier control in the cockpit that
looks and operates just like a constant speed prop control but without the governor.
I liked the mechanical system because it was simple and you could make
precise adjustments by knowing how many turns from take-off to cruise. In my case
it was exactly 4 turns between take-off, landing, initial climb pitch and
cruise pitch. The prop blades are beautiful wood with hard-as-rock urethane leading
edges machined into the blade with nothing to replace. If I was not in the
LSA mode now, I would have one on my Allegro.

Hey Carl,
I'm running an IVO Ultralight IFA on my my 912S. I am thrilled with the
performance. You do get rid of the SS tape first thing, that's easy. And apply
the 3M Clear rock guard and your're good to go. I bought mine from John McBean
at Kitfox Aircraft since that's what I fly, and he has a thru the hub controller
that will last about 5 times longer than the stock
IVO. I believe the numbers we see on climb and cruise put this combination at
the top of the heap. If you're not too concerned about weight and have a thicker
wallet, the IVO medium will give you a smoother start up and shut down. Have
fun.

Where did you get the 3M tape from? I've looked around and can't find it.

Sorry, I've been gone all day. I got my initial batch from Warp drive
(hey?) and then 20 yds. of it after doin' a bunch of Google. Let me go down to
my hanger and I'll get back to you with that supplier. It may be tomorrow.
